Well, Tony (aka Richard) got his Erbitux this morning. All things considered, it went very well. The risk of adverse reaction is always greater the first time you take a medication. But, so far, so good... We're home and he's had lunch and has just gone to bed for his afternoon nap. I think/hope that the fact that he's off the Xeloda will help in terms of his level of fatigue. Not quite sure what the Erbitux will do... We're told that the most common side effect is skin rashes, etc. As Tony's parents are arriving from Belfast on Sunday, I hope this chemo will be easy on him. Keep you fingers crossed.
I've just had a special request for cheesecake (I guess that's better than poutine)... So off I go to the store! Thank you all for your thoughts and messages. We both appreciate them very much.
Take good care.

Hey Tony & Renee,
Glad to hear you got your ertibux after all and by the sound of it, a piece of cheesecake too. I just bought a pumpkin cheesecake on special at provigo, 2.99 if you're interested. I'll have some later and think of you both. Keeping my fingers crossed, love to all of you. Julie xoxoxo
